Conferences

We have hosted 3 international conferences in 2011, 2013 and 2019, the Great Outdoors Of Design (a.k.a GOOD). We use these events to allow the time and space for network partners to reflect upon and present their work and experiences to a wide range of audiences interested in design research and innovation. 

Aside from Reach-initiated conferences, we also pursue opportunities to organise or collaborate on international events with many of our partners.
